Personality-matching habitat choice, rather than behavioural plasticity, is a likely driver of a phenotype-environment covariance.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 11 Oct 2017

Abstract excerpt

An emerging hypothesis of animal personality posits that animals choose the habitat that best fits their personality, and that the match between habitat and personality can facilitate population differentiation, and eventually speciation. However, behavioural plasticity and the adjustment of behaviours to new environments have been a classical explanation for such matching patterns. Using a population of dunnocks...
